The School of Pharmacy offers an undergraduate program leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy). This degree is designed
to prepare graduates for careers primarily in community and hospital settings
but also in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacy organizations, health
sciences research, government, and educational environments. After successful
completion of national examinations, a graduate of the program is eligible
to apply to be licensed as a pharmacist in Newfoundland and Labrador and
other provinces in Canada.
The program of study leading to the Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy)
degree has two phases and requires at least five years to complete. Prior
to entry to the program students will acquire a background in the mathematical
and physical sciences. Once in the program students will take courses in

sciences. At the end of each year students will have an opportunity to apply
the academic knowledge acquired and to develop and practice patient care
skills by participating in experiential learning within community and hospital
settings. During the program students will develop an understanding of the
professional and societal responsibilities of a pharmacist, and will recognize
the need for lifelong learning.
The School has changed its program from two pre-pharmacy years and
three pharmacy years (2 + 3 program) to one pre-pharmacy year and four
pharmacy years (1 + 4 program). During the transition year 2004-2005 students
will be admitted into either the 2 + 3 program or the 1 + 4 program. Degree

5 Promotion Regulations
5.1 General Information
•
The Committee on Undergraduate Studies will determine each student’s promotion
status at the end of each academic year.
•
In addition to meeting the promotion regulations for the School students
must meet the general academic regulations (undergraduate). For further
information refer to UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS
- GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE).
•
Success in the program depends on meeting the requirements of all terms.
5.2 Promotion Status
A student's promotion status at the end of each academic year will
be in one of the following two categories:
5.2.1 Clear Promotion: Clear Promotion means a student can
proceed to the next academic year without restrictions.
• Students will receive a Clear Promotion from an academic
year by obtaining an average of 65% and having obtained at least a pass
in each course. A weighted average based on credit hours in the Bachelor
of Science (Pharmacy) program courses will be calculated for determining
eligibility for promotion. Neither promotion nor graduation will be permitted
if a student has a numeric grade below 50% in any course in the program.
• Students completing PHAR 2102 or 3004 must obtain a
numeric grade of at least 70% in each course.
• Students completing PHAR 201W, 300W, 302W, 401W, 402W,403W,
410W, 501W, or 500X must obtain a grade of PAS or PWD in each course.
• Students must attain a passing grade in each elective,
but these courses will not be included in calculating the student's average
grade for the purposes of promotion, graduation, or academic awards.
5.2.2 Promotion Denied: Promotion Denied indicates Clear Promotion
is not achieved at the end of each academic year.
• A student with Promotion Denied status will be required
to withdraw from the School.
▫ A student who
does not obtain a clear promotion may be permitted to repeat all or part
of the academic year. If a student is required to repeat a year on the grounds
of unsatisfactory performance, his or her performance in the repeated year
must meet the conditions for Clear Promotion. If this standard is not met,
the Committee on Undergraduate Studies may require the student to withdraw
from the program.
▫ Normally, the
option to repeat a year on the grounds of academic difficulties can be offered
only once during the student's Bachelor of Science (Pharmacy) program. This
restriction may be waived if it has been demonstrated that the student's
academic performance has been adversely affected by factors duly authenticated
and acceptable to the Committee on Undergraduate Studies.
• A student with Promotion Denied status at the end of
the final academic term will not be recommended for graduation until the
student's status is changed to Clear Promotion.
5.3 Other Information
•
Students may be required to withdraw from their program at any time, if,
in the opinion of the School, they are unlikely to benefit from continued
attendance.
•
The Committee on Undergraduate Studies may require a student who is deemed
unlikely to benefit from continued attendance in his/her course of study
to withdraw conditionally. The Chair of the committee will advise the Director
of the School of the circumstances precipitating this action, the duration
of the withdrawal and any conditions the student must fulfil during the
withdrawal. The Director may then recommend to the Registrar that the student
is on conditional withdrawal. Upon completing the conditions, the student
may be permitted re-entry to the program. If the conditions are not met,
the student may be required to withdraw from the program.
•
The School reserves the right to require a student to withdraw from the
program at any time when acceptable cause is demonstrated. In such cases,
the Director, on behalf of the School, shall recommend such withdrawal to
the Registrar who will then take appropriate action. Any such action is
subject to the right of appeal by the student. An appeal should be made in
writing clearly stating the basis for the appeal and should be directed in
the first instance to the Registrar of the University. The Registrar, in
consultation with the Director, will determine whether or not the grounds
stated are sufficient to warrant a formal hearing of the appeal.
5.4 Leave of Absence
•
Upon completion of an academic year, a student in good standing may elect
to withdraw temporarily from studies. Voluntary withdrawal at other times
and for other reasons may be permitted in accordance with UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS - GENERAL ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) - Registration.
In all cases, the intent to withdraw voluntarily should be discussed with
the Director. The Director may then recommend to the Registrar that a student
be permitted to withdraw for a stated period of time. At the end of this
period, the student, in consultation with the Committee on Undergraduate
Studies, should ensure that sufficient revision and preparatory work is undertaken
to allow studies to be resumed readily. In the absence of good cause,
any such student who does not resume studies on the specified date may
be deemed to have left the program.
6 Waiver of School
Regulations
A student has the right to request waiver of School regulations. A
student wishing waiver of University academic regulations should refer
to UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS - GENERAL ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) - Waiver of Regulations.
6.1 General Information
•
The School reserves the right in special circumstances to modify, alter,
or waive any School regulation in its application to individual students
where merit and equity so warrant in the judgment of the Committee on Undergraduate
Studies of the School.
•
All requests must be submitted to the Committee on Undergraduate Studies
of the School for consideration. A student requesting a waiver of a School
regulation must submit the request in writing to the Chair of the Committee
on Undergraduate Studies. Medical and/or other documentation to substantiate
the request must be provided.
•
Any waiver granted does not reduce the total number of credit hours required
for the degree.
7 Appeal of Regulations
Any student whose request for waiver of School regulations has been
denied has the right to appeal. For further information refer to UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS - GENERAL ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) - Appeal of Regulations.
• An applicant who has been denied admission has
the right to appeal this decision of the Admissions Committee if it is
felt by the applicant that the decision was reached on grounds other than
those outlined in Admission Regulations for the School of Pharmacy. The appeal
should be made in writing within fourteen days of the notification of the
decision and should be directed to the Director of the School. The letter
should state clearly and fully the grounds for the appeal. If the Director
of the School , in consultation with the Registrar, judges the grounds to
be sufficient, the formal appeals mechanism will be initiated.
• A student obtaining a failing grade in a pharmacy
course due to exceptional circumstances may be permitted to write a supplementary
examination subject to normal appeal process by the student. Such an appeal
must be made in writing to the Director and within one week of release
of grades.
• A student has the right to make a formal appeal
against a decision of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies. However,
this appeal cannot be made on the basis of the grades awarded in individual
courses, as the student will normally have had the opportunity of contesting
grades immediately after notification. A formal appeal by a student against
the decision of the Committee must be made on grounds other than the grades
awarded, e.g. default of procedure. This appeal should be made in writing,
clearly stating the basis for the appeal and should be directed in the first
instance to the Registrar of the University. The Registrar, in consultation
with the Director, will determine whether or not the grounds stated are sufficient
to warrant a formal hearing of the appeal.
